Application filed December 18, 1925.

An object of the present invention is to provide a combined revolver,knife and dagger assembled in such a manner that the weapon which theyco-operatively form may be readily manipulated for the purpose ofshooting, stabbing or delivering a cutting blow.

A further object of the invention is to provide a weapon of thischaracter which will be of simple, practical construction, which will berugged and durable in use, and which can be manufactured at a cost onlyslightly in excess of the cost of an ordinary revolver.

With the above noted and other objects in view, the invention consistsin certain novel features of construction and combinations andarrangements of parts, as will be more fully hereinafter set forth andpointed out in the claims. The invention may be more fully understoodfrom the following description in connection with the accompanyingdrawings, wherein- Fig. 1 is a view in side elevation of a weaponembodying the invention.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged transverse sectional view on the line 22 of Fig.1.

In forming a weapon constructed in accordance with the presentinvention. I may utilize any one of several standard makes of revolvers,the changes in the revolver construction being relatively slight. In thedrawings the reference character 10 designates the barrel of a revolver,and the reference character 11, the handle thereof, in which a revolvingcylinder 12 for feeding the shells is rotatably mounted on a pin 13. 14designates a manually operable lever for effecting retraction of the pin13 to move the cylinder 12 laterally when loading or cleaning the gun.The device may include a conventional trigger 15 and trigger guard 16,as well as a cooking piece 17. The firing pin mechanism, ejectormechanism, or step by step mechanism for rotating the cylinder 12, formno part of the present invention, and may be entirely conventional.

The present invention is more particularly concerned with the provisionof a knife 18 integral both with the barrel 10 and with the handle 11.It will be noted that the Serial No. 76,231.

barrel is unusually elongated and integrall v connected with the knife18 from its forward end to a point adjacent its rear end where the knifeis cut away in stepped formation as at 19 and 20 to provide clearancefor the pin 13 and lever 14. The knife is of appreciable thickness atthe point where it joins the barrel, but is bevelled at 18 to definearazor-like cutting or cleaving edge 18*.

The knife is of appreciable width so that a relatively heavy cleaver isprovided which may be conveniently manipulated by the usual handle ofthe revolver.

Forwardly of the knife 18, I mount a dagger or bayonet 21, the daggerbeing bifurcated at its rear end, providing a pair of arms 22 whichstraddle the front edge of the knife, and may either be riveted theretoas at 23, or detachably secured thereto.

From the foregoing description it will be apparent that I have provideda weapon of manifold utility, either as a revolver, dagger or cleaver,and a weapon which is particularly useful in hand to hand warfare.

Various changes and alterations might be made in the general form andarrangement of parts described, without departing from the invention.Hence I do not wish to limit myself to the details set forth, but shallconsider myself at liberty to make such changes and alterations asfairly fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

I claim:

1. A weapon including a revolver formed with an elongated barrel ofsubstantially uniform width throughout its length, a knife integral withthe lower side of the barrel, and sharpened to provide a cleaving edge,and a dagger riveted to the forward end of the knife.

2. A weapon including a revolver formed with an elongated barrel, aknife integral with the lower side of the barrel, and sharpened toprovide a cleaving edge, and a dagger carried at the forward end of theknife, the rear end of the dagger being bifurcated to straddle theknife, and securing devices pass-ed through said bifurcations and theknife.
